Overview

Introducing the 2018 Ducati Scrambler 1100, a motorcycle that beautifully marries classic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. Positioned as a premium offering in the Scrambler lineup, the 1100 is designed for riders who crave a blend of retro styling and modern performance. With its muscular stance, iconic Ducati trellis frame, and a range of vibrant color options—like classic black and eye-catching yellow—the Scrambler 1100 stands out in any crowd. It’s not just a motorcycle; it’s an invitation to embrace the spirit of freedom and adventure that defines the Scrambler ethos. At the heart of the Scrambler 1100 is a robust 1079cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive 84.48 horsepower at 7500 RPM and 88 Nm of torque at 9000 RPM. This powertrain is not just about numbers; it translates into exhilarating performance on the road. The engine’s smooth delivery, facilitated by ride-by-wire technology and a 6-speed gearbox, allows for seamless acceleration and effortless cruising. Whether you’re navigating through city streets or carving up winding mountain roads, the Scrambler 1100 offers a responsive and engaging ride that keeps the adrenaline pumping. The bike’s lightweight construction—189 kg (416.7 pounds)—combined with its agile handling and 24.5° rake angle, ensures that this machine feels nimble and confident in any riding scenario. Ducati has equipped the Scrambler 1100 with a suite of advanced features that enhance both safety and enjoyment. The fully adjustable Marzocchi front suspension and Kayaba rear monoshock provide a tailored ride experience, adapting to various terrains and rider preferences. The double disc front brakes with ABS and floating discs ensure reliable stopping power, giving you peace of mind as you explore the open road. Additional technologies like traction control further enhance ride stability, making it easier for riders to tackle diverse conditions. The stylish, minimalist design is complemented by a comfortable seat height of 810 mm (31.9 inches), making it accessible for a wide range of riders. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: The 1079cc V2 engine delivers robust power and torque, ensuring thrilling acceleration and responsiveness.
  • Customizable Suspension: Fully adjustable suspension components allow riders to tailor the bike’s handling to their preferences, enhancing comfort and control.
  • Striking Design: The classic Scrambler aesthetic combined with modern touches makes it a head-turner, appealing to both retro enthusiasts and contemporary riders.

Cons

  • Weight: While relatively lightweight, it may still feel heavy for some riders, especially in stop-and-go traffic or during low-speed maneuvers.
  • Limited Wind Protection: The minimalist design offers little in terms of wind protection, which can be challenging on long highway rides.
  • Higher Price Point: As a premium motorcycle, it may be on the pricier side compared to other standard bikes in its class, potentially limiting accessibility for some buyers.
